Nice twist on the same game mechanic as I used!

Clever idea and fun to play

Submitted

Simple and fun game. It's similar to my own game, but I like the shape merging!  

Submitted

Cool concept. I like how increasing your score with white circles increases the danger of hitting one. And it's fun to merge a lot of shapes at once only for them to explode out. 

Submitted

the game is very simple and unique. the controls is a bit challenging to get used to.

Great concept executed well, would appreciate some sound design and some communication of control in-game. 

Submitted

Really simple and unique concept!

Submitted

This is pretty fun. I love the idea of a lasso type "spaceship". Good job!

Submitted

I like the progression! It took me a little to figure out that I had to surround the shapes instead of nudge them towards each other. But after that it was great! I think my favorite strategy is surrounding the entire map and watching the chaos unfold. 

(Also, it's cool that someone else also used bevy for this game jam!)

Bit challenging from the start point

Submitted

Nice mechanic! I thought I have to push the shape to combine together but it turn out I have to draw around them

Developer

yeah. My wife came up with the name!

Nice work! Interesting use of line gizmos :)

Submitted

Even though the controls were a bit hard to get used to, it was pretty fun to draw giant loops to merge as many shapes as possible.

Submitted

It lagged on my device :(  but i like the idea and the simplistic art style!

Submitted

Nice game! Love seeing when people have similar ideas to ours but still end up with completely different games!

Lags on my lower-end device if i draw long loops

Sorry about that. The line drawing and collision detection with it could be optimized a lot. The native builds should have better perf as the web one is single threaded while the other ones can do multithreading.

It's fine 😅 Making a game in such little time can be stressful, and I couldn't make a game like this! Heck, I've only ever made scratch games, so you not perfectly optimizing this game is fine. If you know how to optimize this better, update it in the future once voting is over.
